They sit in a corner of the grassy quad. The first girl ties ribbons into the second girl's braided pigtails. In the crowd, they remain unnoticed. They evade the gaze of others' eyes, unless they wish to be seen, born of shadows and secrets. A short distance away, a prince and a rose bride eat lunch together.
"People are so strange," Girl A says.
"That's why they're so fun to watch!" Girl B replies, enjoying the light touch of A's fingers as the ribbon is tied. "So predictable, but they sometimes manage to surprise you!" She sees A's hand point over her shoulder at the prince and the rose bride.
"Do you remember when we were young and foolish, like them?" Girl A asks.
They're both quiet for a moment, as the memory of long years descends upon them. Unconsciously, Girl B's hand slips up to clasp A's.
Finally, B says, "I was skinnier then!" They both laugh, and A resumes her task.
Not far away, the rose bride smiles genuinely for the first time in a hundred years.
